My brother Steven and I arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark about 11 hours ago (11:30am local time on Wednesday, May 11th, 2016 or 5:30am EST). We have done our fair share of exploring in that time, but the journey here was anything but smooth. A Travel Tale: Lost and Found Rewind to 9:11pm EST on Tuesday […]
Spring Staycation in Cincinnati
While my parents went on a very well deserved vacation (read about why this trip was on hold for two years here), my little brother and I had an awesome staycation in our amazing hometown. Friday night started off at a family favorite, Buckhead Mountain Grill in Bellvue, KY. Their bread rolls and cinnamon butter are […]
Travel Past the Hard Times
Total role reversal today. After going on 3 international trips over the last 5 months, it was my parents’ turn for a vacation. Taken today before leaving for a cruise to the Bahamas. Two years ago my Mom went to the hospital with trouble breathing. After 2 weeks in the hospital they couldn’t find out […]

Travel to Ireland: Entry #1
Beautiful medieval castle to set the mood. Malahide Castle in County Dublin, taken in May, 2013. Only 5.6 miles and 21 minutes from the Dublin International airport.

Travel as a Choice
Again I repeat, travel as a choice. So I’m sitting here in my new apartment in Cincinnati, OH, USA. Big move for a girl who has lived at home for all of my 25 years, minus the 4 years of living in the college dormitories. I’ve got my couch ($175 and $30 for pillows), free […]
What a Day!
Today I’m letting the idea of being a travel blogger sink in. Still doesn’t seem real. The idea of writing used to terrify me. Sure, I learned how to write a decent paper in high school, but I never enjoyed writing. Until yesterday. Below you will find a scr read more
